Friedrich Nietzsche
What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever harm the evil may do, the harm done by the good is the most harmful harm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
